Rational Men, An Irrational World

Honestly, this isn't unique to men, just far more common amongst them, I think because of the subtle cultural idea that "Men are Rational" (and women are not).

Regardless of who does it, its so entirely silly, I think people really overestimate what Rationalism is and can do. So often it does only just that, it *rations*, makes measurement units that are easy for structural utility.
It doesn't make these measurements *real*, doesn't even make what they're representative of *real*, it just makes them useful to work.

Same often goes for when I hear science bros go "Science says".
Science doesn't say anything; it isn't personified. Do you mean "Scientist(s) say"? Then which ones are you talking about, because plenty disagree with eachother. Have you ever been in a room with a bunch of paleontologists? They respect eachother (usually), but they certainly don't always agree.

Thats a good thing, ultimately, thats a notable part of the scientific process. And scientists do often agree on different premises more broadly, but when all of that is just used to say "Science says", it shows not only a lack of understanding in science, but a desire to make your opinion acceptable because of an external authority.

Really, even more than that though, it becomes not only silly, but genuinely dangerous when they start to not even understand their own emotional states as a result, or to devalue emotions, subjective values, intuition, sensory perception, and everything else "not rational". Those things ultimately aren't rationalizable, because not everything in the world is devisable in a rational sense. Part of the world is qualitative and must be understood as such, it's not rationale and logic the whole way down.
Hell, even Quantum Theory, Neuroscience, and other "rational fields" begin to figure out as much.

Anyways, this post is probably pretty hard for a lot to understand, I know, but its been on my mind a lot lately.
